GM is Forcing All Workers to Return to Office By the End of Year

To be clear they are being called back "3 days a week". I don't find that onerous. I doubt this is a deal killer causing people leaving their jobs. In fact I know a several who are happy to have some [but not all] office time with real people again.

Just to be clear, so there's no confusion, the "Work Appropiate" model that Mary Barra boasted about the past 1.5 years and claimed would be the standard going forward [[even as recently as 1 momth ago in a Global Town Hall) gave workers and their direct supervisors the flexibility to decide where they could work.

The facilities have always been open and nothing or no one stopped those workers who preferred working onsite from going into the office.

But to blanket mandate from a senior level everyone follows a strict RTO order, even when many jobs can be performed effectively in a remote fashion, is poor management if you want to keep workers happy.

True story. I turned down a promotion that would have required me to make two sacrifices, [1] to give up remote work and, [2] to attend an ungodly number of meetings. I said that if I wanted to look at assholes all day, I would have become a proctologist. Just MHO, but YMMV.
